The Problem :
About 1000
Programme Executives of All India Radio and Doordarshan recruited by UPSC
through national level selection from 1980 onwards have been denied even a
single promotion in a career spanning 30 years.
They are being
forced to work under contractual employees many of whom have been illegally
inducted into their cadre and then wrongly given multiple promotions .
Why has this situation
arisen:
For the last eight years the Ministry and DG:
AIR are refusing to implement a Court direction dated 26th March 2004 to
conduct a review DPC as per rules so as to protect illegal beneficiaries. (copy of court order enclosed ).
To delay DPC and protect ineligibles, eligibility
lists have been prepared in
total violation of statutory rules. Ineligibles have been included while
eligible UPSC recruited programme
officers have been left out .
UPSC’s explanation on why they can’t hold review
DPC
UPSC after
detailed verification of records has submitted to the Court an affidavit by Secretary, UPSC. (Copy
of affidavit enclosed) .
Secretary UPSC”s
Affidavit (along with DOP&T advice)
clearly states that eligibility list contains many irregularities .
While
eligible persons recruited through UPSC have been left out of the list, ineligible persons not covered under rules
have been included. Eligibility list shows contractual service as regular service !.
Present position on review DPC
Ministry and DG
AIR are unfortunately still refusing to act
on findings of the Union Public Service Commission based on their records and opinion/advice of
the DOP&T .
Ministry wants
to conduct review DPC with ineligible people on the list and by leaving out the
eligible UPSC recruited Programmme Executives.
Ministry is trying
to attribute the delay to court cases .
There is no court order preventing
holding of review DPC.
Prayer: Request kind personal intervention
to save the National Public Broadcaster –All India
Radio and Doordarshan and its
professional and qualified programme officers selected by UPSC.
